[HTC Sensation] hatetatellya:
Fixed!! I installed the latest RUU for my carrier from this thread. The RUU restored my device, radio, hboot [1.17.0008], & recovery back to it's original state [S-On]. Device is now back to the way it was when i opened the box.

After that, I was able to re-run Revolutionary and this time it worked. I now have S-OFF, correct hboot, and rooted stock ROM.
[HTC Sensation] parezz:
wow my device become like your S-OFF, LOCKED bootloader..

will do your method this evening
[HTC Sensation] lvalenzuela24:
hi, im really new to this, I'm getting the sensation t-mobile version, would getting my phone on s-off be gsm unlocking my phone?
[HTC Sensation] dexter93:
??? :confused: ??

What do you mean ? Sorry, can't make any sense....
[HTC Sensation] ilostchild:
no this does not carrier unlock the phone, it unlocks security to the phone for deving purposes/or installing custom recoverys,and Rom builds,

there is way to carrier unlock there is guide on how to do that but you do need to be rooted
[HTC Sensation] namila007:
hey.is it possible to go back to s-on and hboot locked version after flashing the ruu file???
[HTC Sensation] dexter93:
That's what the ruu is supposed to do anyway :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] namila007:
ah.thank you.i dnt knw about it.coz i thought that it is necessary to unroot and locked tha hboot after install the ruu . ;)

[HTC Sensation] chagla:
n00b question guys.

i just got a used Sensation. mine says ****LOCKED****

but next line says S-OFF.

does it mean my bootloader is unlocked?

i'm confused because i went to htc dev and got the unlock.bin file for my sensation. the problem is when i get to the final yes/no screen, i can only choose NO option. no matter how many times i press power button on yes, it won't work. only when i choose "no",it will reboot.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chugger93:
and it's amazing after 5 minutes of playing with it! Anyways, I have the 27 build it looks like. I've had quite a few FC's already (random) and even using the XDA app on the prime, it FC's alot, especially when I goto create a new thread...it just doesnt work. Odd....

Anyways... I'm wondering if I should root as is, or if I should do some OTA's and get up to .33 and then root? What process should I take there. Also, maybe the OTA's will fix some of these FC's??

Additionally, if I root, maybe I can remove some of this bloatware.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Haro912:
I would just do the OTAs. Check the screen contrast and stuff on the different settings after each OTA let me know if you see the difference that some say if there. I never changed my setting much so I never noticed it. There is a thread around here explaining that in more detail.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theizzardking:
personally i'm not doing anything until ICS is released in 8 days, run the updates and don't mess with anything till ICS, i'm doing this one by the book, i only plan to root if ICS isn't what it's cracked up to be or someone finds a way of porting the windows software over to the TFP or lastly some really really badass rom comes along , i don't plan on over clocking or anything of that sort or at least not until this thing is near the end of it's life cycle to me, which is about 1-2 years.. so yeah not rooting anytime soon here, at the very least i'd just wait for ICS ....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jamesey10:
tell us if your batch of the prime has solid GPS
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chugger93:
What's F'ed up, is everytime I goto settings --> about and do the system firmware, DMclient or whatever force closes. It force closes alot even not doing the about screen.

XDA force closes everytime I try to post. I will try a reboot. I havn't rebooted since I first booted it up from the package 15 min ago.

ugh..

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
that thread is b.s. there is no loss in quality or contrast afternew update. read my replies in that thread n you will know the real deal. he just trying to start up some more negative stuff on prime. plus he said he sold it and always talk about it in past tense. now how all of a sudden he got another one n updated. its clear now for me, other than games for prime, I can't believe anything he says. gets caught up too much in his stories and always changing.

Take anything he(Jzen) says with a truckload of road salt..lmfao.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chugger93:
umm not at home i dont think, tomorrow at work i can. Ill double check tho.

so i seriously cant do ota updates, this f'in dmclient keeps force closing, even at the firmware update screen. New issue? Ive never heard any issues like this before
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Olkflx:
Did you disable wifi and NOT installed the .33 OTA update to test it?

The .33 OTA auto enables wifi, so if you have installed it the best way to test the GPS is driving your car somewhere with the transformer prime inside and see if it loses lock or not.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chugger93:
I havn't installed any OTA updates yet and don't plan on it just yet. It's dead anyways and I have to charge it overnight. Only came with about 20% on it. I tested GPS with WI-FI on, and it was fine, havn't disabled WI-FI and tested yet though.

On my way into work tommorrow morning I can do that though and post back results of the .27 build. Why is the GPS on .33 worse or something?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Arun01:

If you used snowball method for root, no it wont work but if you use Indirect's method for root it should work as well as amazon kindle fire app, etc.

Does it actually work with Indirect's root? Or are people just using the built-in equivalent? There is a significant difference here.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andrewhansen86:
Considering selling my GSM Galaxy Nexus. I heard that samsung will not honor the 1 year manufactures warranty if your in the US because in order for you to get the phone in the US you would have had to have it internationally shipped. WTF? Anybody hear anything different? Or can confirm this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
This surprises you?

Buy a warranty from Ensquared. It's like 60 bucks for two years.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Yep. Samsung doesn't honor int'l warranty in the USA. Go figure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] syntrix:
MANY companies are this way, not just cell phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neok44:
If you bought it from negri, they'll honor the year warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moe3754:
That is why square trade is in business, I purchase a square trade warranty on all my big purchases wheather they are under warranty in the U.S. or not. They do not mess around they give you what you paid for the purchase instead of making you jump through hoops.Plus they cover water damage no questions asked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Square trade won't cover the Galaxy Nexus GSM.. unless you are some kind of sorcerer..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rickh925:
I just checked with Securranty (A Square Trade competitor) and they do NOT cover an item unless it has more than 90 days remaining on the manufacturer's warranty.

I specifically asked them if I purchased a GSM Galaxy Nexus from a US seller and the phone was NOT covered by the Samsung manufacturer's warranty, would they sell/cover my phone. The answer was no.

Would the phone be covered by ANY warranty, i.e. Samsung Europe? If so, I wonder if that would suffice for the Securranty coverage since it is technically covered by the manufacturer but would require shipment to Samsung Europe?

On the same note, I am looking on Amazon and the seller Transformersandgsmphones for the GSM Galaxy Nexus tells me that the phone is covered by US Warranty after I register it on www.samsung.com. This seems to contradict other users' experience.

Just thinking of a way around this since moving to Verizon is not an option. I really want the Galaxy Note, but I'm on T-Mobile so that's a no-go for EDGE only. :(

---------- Post added at 03:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:13 PM ----------

Do you mean because it is not a US distributed (or whatever the term is) phone? Or, is it just because Square Trade doesn't cover high end phones?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Negri will cover it up to one-year. Instead of going to Samsung, you will have to go to the place you bought it from. I believe Expansys has something similar to this too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
They won't cover it because it is not US distributed.. Supposedly Ensquared will cover it though, I believe a member here has a warranty through them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rickh925:
I just checked with Square Trade and they seem to cover phones without a US manufacturer's warranty, but not until the 61st day after purchase of the Square Trade Warranty.

Square Trade FAQ

I have sent a detailed message to Square Trade to see if this applies to a non-US manufacturer's warranty or if it means a phone without a warranty at all.

I also just checked with American Express and their extended warranty only applies to a phone with a US manufacturer's warranty of less than 5 years. However, it seems that their purchase protection against loss or theft applies ($1000 per claim and $50,000/cardmember/year) so that may be something at least.

Ok, trying not to thread crap, but I'm so ready to trade up from my N1 to the Galaxy Nexus.

I called Expansys-USA and was told that their phones come with an international warranty, not a US warranty and that they would "assist" me with warranty repairs if needed. I asked what that meant and was told that I would have to pay for shipping to their Illinois location and they would transfer the phone to their French office for warranty repairs...augh.

I'm planning on keeping my N1 for some time since it is still such a good phone, but can't imagine how long that would take if they sent the phone to France. I would hazzard a guess that I wouldn't get my phone back for a month in that case.

Just wanted to update.

Rooting gives you superuser permission over everything. There is a video by Applepwns on Youtube about what rooting is.

[General Questions and Answers] lowandbehold:
No. And if you did, you couldn't flash the font like that. It has to be done manually, or through an app that does it manually for you. All the app does is replace the font files in the sys folders. If you are looking for a simple way to change fonts, Absolute System is a great app. I'm not sure if it has the Harry Potter font specifically, but it does have almost 200 fonts to choose from.

OK, I tried it: It's installable without wiping, but as it formats with ext4, everytinh was erased. It took me hours to install and customize 4.5.5.

I wonder if anyone have moded the stock ICS camera app to use the power/volume button as shooting button. I remembered that people from SII had already done so.
[Acer Iconia A500] Zoandroid:
The A500 has keypress feedback sounds which I like, but I wish they were a little quieter. There is only an On/Off toggle in the settings, and the volume of the sounds is not affected by the 3 volume settings on the tablet.

Since my tablet ia rooted, I decided to experiment with trying to replace the sound files with copies modified to have a lower volume (using Nero Wave Editor on my PC).

I found the files are ogg-vorbis format, and stored in /system/media/ui. I backed them up to the SD card, then copied them off to my PC, did the volume voodoo, and copied them back to the above location.. The end result of my testing is that:

1 - a reboot is necessary to effect changes to those files

2 - the tablet doesn't like those files to be changed. :D

When things did not seem to be working out, I decided to restore the backups to the original file locations. But even after rebooting, and also trying toggling the keyboard sounds on and off, the tablet began malfunctioning in the attempt to play the sounds while typing. I had to restore a nandroid to get the original sounds working again.

I'd like to learn why this did not work. I suspect it has to do with file permissions, and/or formatting, because every time I copied the edited files back to the tablet by USB it warned that they might not be playable. That reminded me of how, when dealing in the past with some PDAs, files had to be ''converted'' for their use, even though they retained the same identical file name extensions. Might that be the case here?

So ive been having some problems since i got my T989 in november. About once a month my SD card just seems to fail... like just now, i rebooted the phone (power off then on) and it comes up with "SD card is Damaged" Why is this happening? its getting really frustrating because i like to do all my nandriod backups onto the SD card...

Anyone got any advice? Could the card be faulty? The other times it was basically doing the same thing. Eject the sd card properly, remove it, plug it back in... Failed!... ugghhh.

is it possible to fix it without reformatting it ?

I have tried reboot several times, take it out, clean it and insert it again,

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Karakoram2:
Try putting it into your computer and see if it opens. Also, windows may offer to fix it (which shouldn't reformat it).

Either way if you can get it to open on a laptop or something even for a bit you should be able to save your data.

Freezer trick (like for fried harddrives) might also work.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] a1adin:
Hi Guys,

thanks for all the advices.

when first I connected the sd card to windows, windows could read the directory.

however, if I click on the file, it gave error message: file not found.

then, after did some searching on xda, I found more similar thread like this.

and some told me to run window error checking and chkdsk /r.

the problem is, it seems that every time I run these program, the sd card is getting harder to read.

then, I run them again and again, finally the sd card now can not be read at all.

Too bad, I guess it is time to reformat.

PS. I should do more reading and searching before I run chkdsk:

Hi flashed some roms that Oc to 1.6GHZ and others that don't and have compared voltage settings, and haven't seen any difference, do you have to Oc via some scripted file or script of some sort, or can you actually use voltage control or preferably system tuner to Oc?

Hi, you just need to use voltage control from the market and tune your processor to desire OC and UV.

That's what I thought but idk what would be safe voltage increasement just want to Oc to 1.6GHz from
